We're back!

We are back. Alanna did so good in the car seat all the way down and then all the way back. She loved her new DVD player hanging right smack dab in her face on the back of the front seat. I heard Elmo for 5 hours straight and then had a small one day breather and then for 5 hours straight back. She never got tired of it! Well.... lets give Dora a 1/2 hour of that time. She watched one of her DVD's to.
We had a good time visiting some of the relatives that we hadn't seen in a very long time. And for some it was the forst time ever to see Alanna. She did well with that too. She behaved well.
We also got to see my brother and sister-in-law and they had us stay with them for one night and that was fun too.
The first night we stayed in a hotel and I put Alanna's pack and play up. I had never put it up before so I struggled with it forever. We were 3 floors up and if the window would have opened up I would have probably thrown it out at one point!!! (I got the 3 sides of it up but I couldn't get the 4th side up to save my life!!!) I finally got it up and by that time I was exhausted. I put her in it and crashed and 2 hours later we were up again for the day! Just kidding but it felt like it anyway.
My little "19" year old nephew left tonight for the Air Force! He's not little -- in fact he is taller than me. But he is little to me. He's still that precious little baby that had to stay in the baby ICU after he was born, he's still that little guy that loved to go to Meijers every Saturday and I would go and take him to the toy department so Mommy could get her grocery shopping done and we would get a donut, he's still the little guy we put in a outfit filled with balloons for Halloween and he couldn't walk down the street because of the balloons, he's the little guy that loved Santa so much-- I guess I never knew anyone that loved him as much as "little Danny" did! We love you Danny! Take care and be careful. Dear God protect him and keep him safe from all harm. And bring him back to us safely!!

I can't believe that Danny is 19! Just the other day I had to throw out that heart magnet that he made for me back in 1989. I still saw his cute little face in my head & smiled when I remembered how proud he was to give it to me. I don't even know what he looks like now, I suppose.
